My tap squeals and is hard to turn. What is that?
Usually a worn washer or a damaged seat. Turning it harder to stop the noise tends to chew the seat out further, so it is better to have it looked at.

What Is Involved
Leaking Taps help in Kenwick
Most tap work is one visit: the parts are common, they are carried on the van, and the job is done while you wait. What takes longer is a fixture behind a wall or tapware that is no longer supported — and you will hear about that before the work starts, not after.
Kenwick sits close to both residential streets and commercial activity, so plumbing work can involve household fixtures, workplace amenities, blocked drains or maintenance checks before a property changes hands. Locally that means homes, rentals and small commercial premises sit side by side, so the same street can need household repairs and workplace amenities checked.
There is a fuller write-up of what this work involves if you want the detail before booking anything.
Signs a tap needs repairing
- A tap that squeals, sticks or will not shut off cleanly
- A mixer that has become stiff or gritty to turn
- A water bill creeping up with no change in habits
- Green or white staining below a tap or spout
What wears out in a tap
- Worn washers, cartridges, O-rings or ceramic discs
- A damaged tap seat, or an older tap body past its best
- Outdoor taps exposed to weather, garden use and knocks
- A tap that has been over-tightened to stop the drip

Good to Know
Leaking Taps questions, answered
Do you repair outdoor and garden taps?
Yes. Outside taps take the most weather and the most knocks, and the fitting behind the wall is worth checking while the tap is off.
Is a leaking shower the same job as a leaking tap?
Much the same parts, though access can take longer where the fittings sit behind a wall. It is worth mentioning when you call so the visit is planned for it.
Which parts of Kenwick do you work in?
All of it — including between Maddington and Beckenham, where residential streets sit alongside light commercial activity. If you are unsure whether your street is covered, ring 0448 471 377 and you will be told straight away rather than sold a call-out.
